    For students age 11-17

    In this 4-week class, students will write a STEM essay and submit to the New York Times STEM Writing Contest. 

    Students will: 

    • find a STEM-related question, concept or issue they are interested in
    • explain a complex and interesting science, math, engineering or technology concept to a general audience, using the Science Times column Trilobites as a model.
    • learn from last years' winners

    We’ll cover the most important elements of STEM writing considered by the NY Times STEM writing team: 

    • How to hook the reader: strategies for engaging readers and teachers from the opening paragraph
    • Explain why a topic or an issue matter in a larger context 
    • How to incorporate information from the sources: quoting and paraphrasing experts and research
